PASTOR’S NOTES:<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>rs’ Day<br />

Today on Fa<strong>the</strong>rs’ Day, we give a special remembrance to those, who by <strong>the</strong>ir commitment and self-giving,<br />

have shared love and given us life. We thank <strong>the</strong>m for <strong>the</strong>y have enabled us to grow and understand better <strong>the</strong><br />

meaning <strong>of</strong> our lives with <strong>the</strong> talents and abilities we have. May <strong>the</strong> Lord bless all <strong>of</strong> you who have accepted<br />

<strong>the</strong> vocation <strong>of</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>rhood.<br />

We also pray that, in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many challenges and pressures which confront marriage and family life<br />

within our society, we all will be strong in upholding <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> committed love and <strong>the</strong> dignity <strong>of</strong> all<br />

life.<br />

As we begin <strong>the</strong> summer months with its time for vacations and rest, we pray that <strong>the</strong> Lord will be with you<br />

and refresh you with a renewed awareness <strong>of</strong> His presence around you.<br />

Dear Bro<strong>the</strong>rs and Sisters in Christ,<br />

During <strong>the</strong> sacrifice <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mass, we are invited to <strong>of</strong>fer one ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> sign <strong>of</strong> peace. This interaction<br />

reminds us that peace in <strong>the</strong> world begins with each one <strong>of</strong> us. Appropriately, this year’s Peter’s Pence<br />

Collection calls <strong>the</strong> faithful worldwide to Cast <strong>the</strong> Peace <strong>of</strong> Christ upon <strong>the</strong> World. In many locations<br />

around <strong>the</strong> world <strong>the</strong> Church is challenged daily to be a visible sign <strong>of</strong> Christ’s peace. In some dioceses many<br />

are dependent on <strong>the</strong> Church for social and pastoral support. Likewise, our bro<strong>the</strong>rs and sisters in <strong>the</strong> Faith<br />

who have been marginalized or victims <strong>of</strong> natural disasters, war and economic oppression are most in need <strong>of</strong><br />

Christ’s peace.<br />

Our support <strong>of</strong> this annual collection will not only unite us in solidarity with <strong>the</strong> Holy Fa<strong>the</strong>r and <strong>the</strong> faithful<br />

worldwide, but it provides Pope Benedict XVI <strong>the</strong> resources to respond in love and charity to those most in<br />

need <strong>of</strong> Christ’s peace.<br />

May Our Lord continue to bless you and your loved ones as you share <strong>the</strong> peace <strong>of</strong> Christ in your parish, <strong>the</strong><br />

Archdiocese <strong>of</strong> Chicago and throughout <strong>the</strong> Universal Church. You and those you love are in my prayers;<br />

please keep me in yours.<br />

Sincerely yours in Christ,<br />

Francis Cardinal George, O.M. I.<br />

Archbishop <strong>of</strong> Chicago

PROTECTING<br />

CONSCIENCES<br />

USCCB Nationwide Bulletin Insert June 2012<br />

WHY CONSCIENCE IS IMPORTANT<br />

During <strong>the</strong> civil rights movement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1950s and 1960s, Americans shone <strong>the</strong> light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gospel on a dark history <strong>of</strong><br />

slavery, segregation, and racial bigotry. The civil rights movement was an essentially religious movement, a call to<br />

awaken consciences.<br />

In his famous “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in 1963, Rev. Martin Lu<strong>the</strong>r King Jr. boldly said, “The goal <strong>of</strong> America is<br />

freedom.” As a Christian pastor, he argued that to call America to <strong>the</strong> full measure <strong>of</strong> that freedom was <strong>the</strong> specific<br />

contribution Christians are obliged to make. He rooted his legal and constitutional arguments about justice in <strong>the</strong> long<br />

Christian tradition: “I would agree with Saint Augustine that ‘An unjust law is no law at all.’… A just law is a man-made code<br />

that squares with <strong>the</strong> moral law or <strong>the</strong> law <strong>of</strong> God. An unjust law is a code that is out <strong>of</strong> harmony with <strong>the</strong> moral law.”<br />

Some unjust laws impose such injustices on individuals and organizations that disobeying <strong>the</strong> laws may be justified. Every<br />

effort must be made to repeal <strong>the</strong>m. When fundamental human goods, such as <strong>the</strong> right <strong>of</strong> conscience, are at stake, we may<br />

need to witness to <strong>the</strong> truth by resisting <strong>the</strong> law and incurring its penalties.<br />

The church does not ask for special treatment, simply <strong>the</strong> rights <strong>of</strong> religious freedom for all citizens. Rev. King also explained<br />

that <strong>the</strong> church is nei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> master nor <strong>the</strong> servant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> state, but its conscience, guide, and critic.<br />

Catholics and many o<strong>the</strong>r Americans have strongly criticized <strong>the</strong> recent Department <strong>of</strong> Health and Human Services (HHS)<br />

mandate requiring almost all private health plans to cover contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs. For <strong>the</strong><br />

first time in our history, <strong>the</strong> federal government will force religious institutions to fund and facilitate coverage <strong>of</strong> a drug or<br />

procedure contrary to <strong>the</strong>ir moral teaching, and purport to define which religious institutions are “religious enough” to merit<br />

an exemption. This is a matter <strong>of</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r religious people and institutions may be forced by <strong>the</strong> government to<br />

provide such coverage even when it violates our consciences.<br />

What we ask is nothing more than <strong>the</strong> right to follow our consciences as we live out our teaching. This right is not only about<br />

our ability to go to Mass on Sunday or pray <strong>the</strong> Rosary at home. It is about whe<strong>the</strong>r we can make our contribution to <strong>the</strong><br />

common good <strong>of</strong> all Americans. Can we do <strong>the</strong> good works our faith calls us to do, without having to compromise that very<br />

same faith Without religious liberty properly understood, all Americans suffer, deprived <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> essential contribution in<br />

education, health care, feeding <strong>the</strong> hungry, civil rights, and social services that religious Americans make every day.<br />

What is at stake is whe<strong>the</strong>r America will continue to have a free, creative, and robust civil society—or whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> state alone<br />

will determine who gets to contribute to <strong>the</strong> common good, and how <strong>the</strong>y get to do it.<br />

What can you do to ensure <strong>the</strong> protection <strong>of</strong> conscience rights<br />

• The U.S. Bishops have called us to get informed, pray and advocate. To send your message to HHS and Congress telling<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to uphold religious liberty and conscience rights, go to www.usccb.org/conscience today!<br />

Thank you for joining <strong>the</strong> effort to end this unprecedented government coercion.<br />

• The Bishops have called for a Fortnight for Freedom - June 21-July 4.<br />

Please go to www.fortnight4freedom.org for more information on this important time <strong>of</strong> prayer and action!<br />

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CATECHISTS NEEDED<br />

LAS NOTAS DEL PASTOR:<br />

Dia Del Padre<br />

Hoy en el Día del Padre, damos un recordatorio especial<br />

para aquellos, que por su dedicación y dadivez han compartido amor y nos han dado la vida. Les agradecemos porque<br />

ellos nos han facilitado a que hayamos crecido y entendido mejor el significado de nuestras vidas con los talentos y<br />

habilidades que tenemos. Que el Señor bendiga a todos ustedes que han aceptado la vocación de ser padre.<br />

También rezamos para que en la cara de muchos desafios y presiones que confrontan el matrimonio y la vida familiar<br />

dentro de nuestra sociedad, seamos fuertes en sostener la importancia del amor y la dignidad de toda vida.<br />

Ahora que empezamos los meses de verano con sus tiempos de vacaciones y descanso, rezamos para que el Señor este<br />

con ustedes y que los refresque con un renovado conocimiento de Su presencia alrededor de ustedes.<br />

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,<br />

Durante el sacrificio de la Misa, se nos invita a <strong>of</strong>recer, unos a otros, el signo de la paz. Esta interacción nos recuerda<br />

que la paz en el mundo comienza en cada uno de nosotros.<br />

Con un tema muy apropiado para este año, la colecta conocida como el Óbolo de San Pedro llama a los fieles del mundo<br />

entero a Proyectar la Paz de Cristo al Mundo. En muchos lugares de todo mundo la Iglesia recibe el desafío diario de ser<br />

la señal visible de la paz de Cristo. En algunas diócesis muchos dependen de la Iglesia para recibir ayuda social y<br />

pastoral. Del mismo modo, nuestros hermanos y hermanas en la fe que han sido marginados o han sido víctimas de<br />

desastres naturales, de la guerra y de la opresión económica son los que más necesitan la paz de Cristo.<br />

Nuestro apoyo a esta colecta anual no sólo nos unen en solidaridad con el Santo Padre y con los fieles del mundo, sino<br />

que proporciona al Papa Benedicto XVI los recursos para responder con amor y caridad a los más necesitados de la paz<br />

de Cristo.<br />

Que Nuestro Señor continúe bendiciéndolos, a ustedes y a sus seres queridos, ahora que comparten la paz de Cristo en<br />

sus parroquias, en la Arquidiócesis de Chicago y en la Iglesia universal. Ustedes y sus seres queridos están presentes en<br />

mis plegarias; por favor ténganme presente en las suyas.<br />

Sinceramente suyo en Cristo,<br />

PROTEGER LA<br />

CONCIENCIA<br />

Volante de USCCB para boletines en toda la nación Junio de 2012<br />

POR QUÉ LA CONCIENCIA ES IMPORTANTE<br />

Durante el movimiento de derechos civiles de las décadas de 1950 y 1960, los estadounidenses hicieron que brillara la luz del<br />

Evangelio sobre la oscura historia de la esclavitud, la segregación y la intolerancia racial. El movimiento de derechos civiles<br />

fue esencialmente un movimiento religioso, una llamada a despertar las conciencias.<br />

En 1963, en su famosa “Carta desde la cárcel de Birmin-gham”, el Rev. Martin Lu<strong>the</strong>r King Jr., expresó de forma audaz: “El<br />

objetivo de Estados Unidos es la libertad”. Como pastor cristiano, argumentó que para lograr que EE. UU gozara al máximo<br />

de esa libertad, se necesitaba la contri-bución específica que los cristianos estaban obligados a hacer. Sus argumentos legales y<br />

constitucionales sobre la justicia los enraizó en la antigua tradición cristiana: “Estoy de acuerdo con San Agustín cuando dijo:<br />

‘Una ley injusta no es una ley’.[…] Una ley justa es un código hecho por el hombre que encuadra con la ley moral o la ley de<br />

Dios. Una ley injusta es un código que no está en armonía con la ley moral”.<br />

Algunas leyes injustas imponen tales injusticias en individuos y organizaciones que desobedecer esas leyes puede justificarse.<br />

Hay que hacer todo lo posible para que sean anuladas. Cuando bienes humanos fundamentales, como el derecho de<br />

conciencia, están en juego, es posible que sea necesario dar testimonio de la verdad resistiendo la ley e incurriendo en sus<br />

sanciones.<br />

La Iglesia cristiana no pide que se le trate de forma especial, simplemente pide los derechos de libertad religiosa para todos<br />

los ciudadanos. El Reverendo King también explicó que la Iglesia no es ni el amo ni el esclavo del Estado, sino que es su<br />

conciencia, su guía y su crítico.<br />

Los católicos y muchos otros grupos estadounidenses han criticado fuertemente el reciente mandato del Departamento de<br />

Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS, sigla en inglés) que requiere que casi todos los planes privados de seguros médicos cubran<br />

los anticonceptivos, la esterilización y las drogas abortivas. Por primera vez en nuestra historia, el gobierno federal obligará a<br />

las instituciones religiosas a facilitar y pagar por algo que es contrario a sus enseñanzas morales, pretendiendo definir cuáles<br />

instituciones religiosas son “suficientemente religiosas” como para ameritar una exención. La cuestión es que si las<br />

personas e instituciones religiosas deben ser forzadas por el gobierno a proveer tal cobertura aun cuando estas<br />

prácticas violen su conciencia.<br />

Lo que pedimos es solo nuestro derecho a seguir nuestra conciencia en cómo vivir nuestra fe. Este derecho no consiste solo<br />

en asistir a misa los domingos o rezar el rosario en el hogar. Se trata de poder contribuir al bien común de todos los<br />

estadounidenses. ¿Podemos hacer el bien que nuestra fe nos pide sin transigir en los principios que sostienen esa fe Sin una<br />

comprensión correcta de lo que es la libertad religiosa, todos los estadounidenses se verán afectados al faltarles aportes<br />

esenciales como educación, servicios de salud, asistencia a los que sufren hambre, derechos civiles y servicios sociales,<br />

contribuciones que los ciudadanos creyentes realizan cada día.<br />

Lo que está en juego es si Estados Unidos continuará teniendo una sociedad civil libre, creativa y fuerte, o si será únicamente<br />

el Estado el que determine quién puede contribuir al bien común, y cómo lo podrá hacer.<br />

¿Qué puede hacer para asegurar la protección de la libertad religiosa<br />

Los obispos de EE. UU. nos han pedido que nos mantengamos informados, que recemos y aboguemos por la libertada<br />

religiosa. ¡Para enviar una mensaje a HHS y al Congreso pidiéndoles que defiendan la libertad religiosa y los derechos de<br />

conciencia, visite hoy mismo www.usccb.org/conscience!<br />

Gracias por unirse a los esfuerzos para ponerle fin a esta coerción sin precedentes de la conciencia por parte del gobierno.<br />

Los obispos han pedido una Quincena por la Libertad del 21 de junio al 4 de julio.<br />
